Connecticut Secretary of the State

EMILYs List recruits, trains and supports Democratic pro-choice women candidates at every level of the ballot. By helping to elect these women to office in 2025 and 2026, we’re not only building a foundation for the future, but we’re also putting strong women in charge of decisions that affect women and families every day — from the legislators who write laws to the attorneys general who defend and enforce them to the secretaries of state who ensure access to the ballot.

Good luck to all of our candidates:

Governor: State Senator Ryan Fazio

Lt. Governor: Matthew Corey

Attorney General: John Bolton

Comptroller: Jen Tooker

Secretary of the State: Peter Lumaj

Treasurer: Fred Wilms

“During their years in office, these incumbents have demonstrated a genuine commitment to working alongside educators and standing up for Connecticut’s public schools. They have fought to protect critical federal funding by challenging actions that threatened our students, worked to safeguard the retirement security educators have earned, and consistently supported policies that strengthen public education. Their leadership has made a meaningful difference for educators, students, and communities across our state, and they have earned our endorsement for another term,” said Dias.
